Did that with a 12 inch Stormtrooper i got from a dollar store, as a first timer I just did a acrylic wash and some blaster burns. Lot of fun and love it even though its a bit cheesy.
Every time I watch one of your videos. I'm always impressed / jealous of your Christopher Reeve Superman figure. It's just amazing. Keep up the good work brother
"Whats happening my fellow geeks and geekettes" with subtitles turns into, "one saddened by fellow gates and gay kids" youtube has a strange sense of humor.
I have a theory why no one can ever recognize C-3P0. He was originally red but no one recognizes him because of the gold body. (This is a joke, I know the real origin of his red arm)
I could just hear him complaining the whole time you were working on him. "Oh dear! Be careful what you are doing. Wait, what are you doing with that rotary tool!?! No! Not my eyes!
hey chris just wanted to say i love your work and i already custom ized my c3po only i made him with 2 gold arms because i wasnt really a fan of ep 7 but also you shoul have a whole diarama of all the starwars figs u have
I had a great idea. Chris should get a 10" Elite Death Trooper figure from the Disney Store and give it some weathering and a better paintjob, than make a Scarif stand for it with sand and fake water
Awesome video. If you ever revisit the project, it might be super cool to replace the exposed middle of him with real wires and dangling in there. Just a suggestion, loved it!
I feel like you need to get your hands on another threepio and customize it to match the steampunk r2's pocket watch threepio. It would be cool to see that idea expanded, but its your choice.
Chris you are my favourite UA-camr and you have inspired me to start doing things that you do on the channel. Please can you do a custom collect able of star Lords nerd blaster.
Amazing work as always! I'm not sure if you have read the Darth Vader or Doctor Aphra comic series, but if you get a another one of these C-3PO's, it be awesome if you customized it to look like 0-0-0 (Triple Zero)!
When you say "we've got a lot of work to do" UA-cam captions says : "we've got a lot of art now". Apparently, YT disagrees with you, that figure is a work of art. XD! Yeah, and I'm Tfue.
You could kick this up to a whole other level if you started filling those screw holes. Bondo, Tamiya putty, or even "Green Stuff' (blue/yellow epoxy putty). Sand and then prime the whole thing at once. Reference some model making videos for reference. Super simple and you could really elevate these even further. But again, nice job on this.
This turned out really good! If you wanted to go even further you should have chopped out the torso section and rebuild it with some real wires instead of the molded ones.
"It took me forever to find him"
You probably didn't recognize him because of the red arm
well played
Impressive. Most impressive.
I see you’ve built your own red arm joke
I like to think that Jakks Pacific keeps making these figures for Chris to customize them.
Theoose lmao!!!!
No dirt from your driveway? Who are you and what have you done with Chris??
The Costume Kid and no shoe polish
Unsubbed...
This is patriarchy! (lol jk)
The Costume Kid
Ha ha lol
i was thinking the same thing
needs black dots in the eyes, other than that looks beautiful as always
You should do a steampunk C3 just so that you can match with R2. That's only if you can get another one
he sold r2
Ethan I know he did, I'm saying that as a video idea it's a good match
Alex Good c3po already look like a steampunk robot
From how you weathered him and how the light shines in his eye, it made him look like a steampunk robot. Looks great!
you should do a series where you get super cheep toys like $1 store or something like that, toys and pimp them out

Agreed
Every time I watch one of your videos. I'm always impressed / jealous of your Christopher Reeve Superman figure. It's just amazing. Keep up the good work brother
I love it when you do the custom collectable videos, your skills are amazing and I get so much inspiration from them. Another stellar job mate.
Its fascinating how a simple paint job can absolutely transform something like this
Yessssss!!!! Finally! I've been refreshing my UA-cam feed ever since I saw 3PO on your Instagram story!!!
Thanks for saying it was 3P0 in the title. I almost didn’t recognise him because of the red arm.
"Whats happening my fellow geeks and geekettes" with subtitles turns into, "one saddened by fellow gates and gay kids" youtube has a strange sense of humor.
Stupid Ninja holy hell
Kinda sounds like an Edgar Allan Poe poem
LMBO LOLOLOLOL

I have a theory why no one can ever recognize C-3P0.
He was originally red but no one recognizes him because of the gold body.
(This is a joke, I know the real origin of his red arm)
You forgot the pupils
No he didn't
Kyle Lusk then why are there no pupils?
Because school is out.
K, I'll leave then.
And the silver leg
I could just hear him complaining the whole time you were working on him. "Oh dear! Be careful what you are doing. Wait, what are you doing with that rotary tool!?! No! Not my eyes!
Truck Shackley LOL😄
At first I was like , aww C-3PO. but now I'm like , I really want that damn C-3PO. freaking amazing Chris.
I just realized that if chris ever has kids, they'll have the BEST toys. Lucky...
Liam Curran yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Danm lucky kids
Your content is easily the most interesting thing that youtube has to offer for me! Good work, truly marvelous (has always)
hey chris just wanted to say i love your work and i already custom ized my c3po only i made him with 2 gold arms because i wasnt really a fan of ep 7
but also you shoul have a whole diarama of all the starwars figs u have
This figures a lot bigger than I was first thinking, great finishing product...and voice
Another excellent custom Chris! Great job!
13:48 I just shat in my pants lol
fantastic work mate.. always enjoy those custom collectibles
That is amazing. It looks like you actually replaced the plastic with metal! Great job!
Should have taped over and left the original paint job on the wires and made some pupils but otherwise great job
I had a great idea. Chris should get a 10" Elite Death Trooper figure from the Disney Store and give it some weathering and a better paintjob, than make a Scarif stand for it with sand and fake water
This is probably my favorite so far. You did an amazing job Chris
Awesome video. If you ever revisit the project, it might be super cool to replace the exposed middle of him with real wires and dangling in there. Just a suggestion, loved it!
I feel like you need to get your hands on another threepio and customize it to match the steampunk r2's pocket watch threepio. It would be cool to see that idea expanded, but its your choice.
That looks awesome! I never thought of doing something like this, but now I want too. Great job!
You're awesome Chris. Keep up the good work brother and sending good vibes from Cleveland, Ohio ✌🏻
Can you do a video on the homemade spiderman mask from spiderman homecoming? I wanna see you do that or something from the movie
Chris you have skills, man. I wish I had a mind for this stuff. What an upgrade! Good stuff indeed...
When you click on a video so fast you travel back in time to when Chris had 1000 subscribers.
I love watching these; always a fun time!
Nice one mate. Loved the shot of the primer drying on the hills hoist with some jocks in the background :P
Amazing job! Without the pupils, he looks like C-3PO of the Corn.
Chris you are my favourite UA-camr and you have inspired me to start doing things that you do on the channel. Please can you do a custom collect able of star Lords nerd blaster.
Another awesome job!!! Great idea with the wiring. THANKS.
You did it again Chris! Awesome work here! This is definitely top three with Batfleck and the Tie Fighter. So glad I subscribed.
The right leg should be silver
I love how you go the lights to light up 😂😂😂😂😂
Who else thought of the red arm joke when you saw the thumbnail?
came out beautiful. While i like your customs where you use the clear primer and weather i am very happy to see you do a full repaint. awesome job
One of my fav customs to date. Really liking the base.
The stand reminds me of the vehicles on Tatooine. Like Jabba's Sail Barge/Palace or the Jawa's Sand Crawler.
wow is huge, big scale figure indeed. Great Job Chris, congratulations! :)
great job as always Chris. If you can get your hands on another one, how about painting out the red arm and adding a restraining bolt?
Good job mate. I did a C-3PO awhile back and had a lot of fun with him. Also bored out the arm areas.
Awesome custom Chris and another great video :)
It looks fantastic!
That is awesome work, always impressed.
Chris, another great job mate as per usual. Love your videos, keep on rocking!
Love it! Beautiful work one again Chris!
May 27th i turned 23 and got a dremel. Freaking love the tool!
another great makeover by my man Chris
amazing. My one suggestion would be to fill in the screw holes with something like resin
My son has a 3 foot tall optimus prime. You have motivated me to customize it!
Whoa....amazing Chris ! Send ILM a photo lol.
Heck yeah, Chris back at it again
That's a damn fine job you did!!!
incredible work as always !
*You probably didn't recognise me because of the red arm*
Do boba fett next!!!!
I really look forward to these custom vids
Loving these Star Wars props! Makes my soon to be Cold Gun look like crap.
Great work, very inspiring 👍
Looks nice as always, but you could weather the wires on the waist/belly area as well!
Love the backdrop! Just subscribed!
Dude! You are ripped! Love your channel!
Amazing work as always! I'm not sure if you have read the Darth Vader or Doctor Aphra comic series, but if you get a another one of these C-3PO's, it be awesome if you customized it to look like 0-0-0 (Triple Zero)!
This is definitely one of my favorites!
awesome work once again chris
When you say "we've got a lot of work to do" UA-cam captions says : "we've got a lot of art now".
Apparently, YT disagrees with you, that figure is a work of art. XD!
Yeah, and I'm Tfue.
Always love your work
only thing I would change is the place with those wires maybe cut it out and make one with old wires or just use some I'll wired to cover it
wow Chris that looks awesome
I love your work, and this is amazing. Although I would add two small dots to the eyes.
seen parts on Instagram looks awesome! great work!
i jizzed my pants when i saw the thumbnail from the notification
Hddhdbgdhhvjgijgbgng yeah he did....
Oooooooookkkkkk lol so did i its cool and freaky
I like the customs. Keep up the good work bro
You could kick this up to a whole other level if you started filling those screw holes. Bondo, Tamiya putty, or even "Green Stuff' (blue/yellow epoxy putty). Sand and then prime the whole thing at once. Reference some model making videos for reference. Super simple and you could really elevate these even further. But again, nice job on this.
Mind has been blown
reminds me alot of the phantom limb comic. with a all dirty 3PO. only thing is, that that is the story on how he got his red arm
This turned out really good!
If you wanted to go even further you should have chopped out the torso section and rebuild it with some real wires instead of the molded ones.
Would be nice if you could do a custom collectible that's not weathered. Something that's look brand new and glossy ;)
Any ideas on how to light up the eyes if you don’t have a 3d printer? Model looks incredible, great video super painting techniques.
How about drilling out the holes in the base and putting a light to give you that ambient ship light affect underneath C-3PO's feet?
wow great video been awhile Bro great custom collectable 😄😄😄
awesome job as always!
I think you should have used a chrome gold and chrome red... then done all the weathering.
damn chris these are just too cool!
That was emotional. Cool.
Looks amazing!
Hey love your work all your Custom collectables are amazing! Was looking at doing a similar build and was wondering where you get your paints from
hey chris have you ever thought of using rustoleum 2x ultra cover metalic gold .
brutal!! spectacular custom
AYEE NEW MUSIC I LOVE IT!! AMAZING JOB WITH C3PO
your buddy Miles, sounds very resourceful, you guys could start a new series for mega custom collectables.
